"In fact, a more realistic assessment of our energy and environmental situation suggests that, for decades to come, we will continue to rely overwhelmingly on fossil fuels that have contributed so dramatically to the world's prosperity and progress. In 2013, about 87% of the energy that the world consumed came from fossil fuels, a figure that - remarkably - was unchanged from 10 years before." Viscount Matt Ridley, writing in the Wall Street Journal.
